COURAGE
In whatever arena of life, if he follows his conscience, one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces – the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men – each man must decide for himself the course he will follow.
The stories of past courage can define that ingredient – they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
--John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

we exercise it, the stronger it gets. John McCain, In Search of Courage
Read the stories of courageous people.
Project yourself into their situation – What would I have done?
Think about the times you have been courageous (and cowardly).
Determine that courage is a quality you want to exhibit.
Be ready for the life-changing moment when
your COURAGE is tested.
